I was raised on a steady diet of skateboard graphics, album covers, and war movies while growing up in the suburbs of cities like Boston, Philadelphia, and Cleveland. My first creative endeavour was sticking crayons up my nose, but I figured out (after a trip to the doctor) that they weren’t meant for that and I began to draw. Luckily my parents didn’t take too much concern when I drew gory battlefields or massive skateboard parks on 5 foot long sheets of dot matrix printing paper. That was about it for the first half of my life. I got more into music as I grew up, and drawing took a back seat. After a few years of throwing myself off of cliffs in the snow and growing up in general I went back to school for a career in printing. I learned all about inks and paper and presses, but most importantly I learned how to screen print. This was a game changer. Why? Because at the same time a friend had lent me a copy of a book featuring the posters of Frank Kozik. I began drawing and became intent on making posters for bands coming to town. And that is basically it, even moving across the country to Oregon didn’t stop me from making posters. Or moving overseas to London. Or back to the US. I love making art and posters.
Now with more than five years producing art and merchandise for bands and clients small and large, participating in group art shows across the US and Europe, and published in print; I am hungrier than ever!
If you would like hire me for your band, record label, venue, puppy farm, LARP group, film festival, chicken shack, or rib joint, etc… Please contact me at the e-mail below.
